Chaotic Christmas Reveals Future of IZW

Posted: Dec 23rd 2009 By: IZW Staff

The Impact Arena was filled with electricity as Chaotic Christmas was finally upon us and the fans of Impact Zone Wrestling witnessed the end of a big year for IZW, and the beginnings of an even bigger year. The past was honored, the present impressed and the future shone bright for all the IZW superstars and their fans. There were two important superstars that returned at Chaotic Christmas and gave the crowd a couple of unexpected surprises. And a title changed hands as the IZW superstars went all out for the audience.

The first match was the Triple Threat Tornado Tag Team Match for the IZW Tag Team Championships with the New Age Syndicate (c) vs. Arrogant Money vs. BLK-OUT. Last year at Chaotic Christmas, BLK-OUT won their first IZW Tag Team Championship. This year they attempted to win them for the fourth time as they entered the arena to new entrance music. All of the competitors got right to it as the Syndicate brought kendo sticks with them and started to attack their opponents. But the other men double-teamed both men, taking their kendo sticks from them, then dishing out a vicious assault and finally putting one of the Syndicate on a table outside of the ring. Randy Price came down with an elbow drop to put him through the table. The other member was thrown through a table set up in the corner. One point of the match had Jermaine Johnson climbing the cage wall set up near the entranceway and diving off the top onto all the men. Later, Austin Tacious was powerbombed through a table. BLK-OUT hit the Tek-Nine on Price and it looked as if their fourth reign as IZW Tag Team Champions was about to become a reality, then suddenly and surprisingly, they were both thrown out of the ring by the New Age Syndicate who had recovered from two huge falls just in time. The New Age Syndicate then secured the pin and retained the IZW Tag Team Championship in a very violent and hard-fought match.

Just the same as last year, at this Chaotic Christmas there was a new inductee into the Impact Hall of Fame, and he was revealed to be Gary Tool. Gary Tool has a long history with IZW as one of its most important management figures and wrestlers over the years. Tool came out and accepted the nomination but he then went on to say that wrestling fans are the true Hall of Famers, as none of this would be possible without them. He was then interrupted by the Future Hall of Famers. Bad Brad Michaels came out in a wheelchair and made the memorable statement, "If I wasn't in this wheelchair, I'd get out of this wheelchair." Michaels is in the Hall of Fame himself and told Tool to leave. Tool praised the group as part of the future of the business, but said he would take the high road and leave. But as he was doing so, Michaels insulted Tool's family. Tool came back in the ring, got in Michaels' face, and let him have it. But Tool said that this is what Bad Brad wanted, and that he would leave not a punk, but a man. Michaels then got out of the wheelchair while Gary's back was turned to him, he then spun Tool around and slapped the taste out of his mouth. Gary tried to get to Bad Brad all while the Future Hall of Famers held him back. IZW Co-Commissioner Bernie D then came out, angry about what he had just seen. Bernie mentioned the upcoming Six-man Tag Team Match later in the evening and decided to make another "Bernie D Original", turning that match into an Eight-man Tag Team Match. He said Bad Brad would be on Johnny Z's team, he then proposed Gary take the other spot on Aaron Neil's team but Gary Tool declined, saying that he was retired. As Gary was attempting to leave again Michaels made another comment about Tool's family. Tool then said that the first thing he had taught Michaels was to never leave his bag at home. He said he had his bag with him and he was in for the Eight-man Tag Team Match.

The next match was between "The Awesome One" Kevin Morgan and "The Hate Machine" John O'Malley and it was for the IZW Heavyweight Championship. The anticipation for what would happen when these two met in the ring had been growing steadily. Would the Awesome One be able to win the Championship or would John O'Malley finally get rid of Morgan once and for all? The big men went at it immediately. Finally, after a seemingly endless amount of devastating blows between the two, O'Malley was able to distract the referee long enough to use a pair of brass knuckles on Morgan, knocking the Awesome One out. He then took advantage by locking him in a submission hold. The referee raised Morgan's arm three times, but it dropped as he was unconscious. O'Malley celebrated, seemingly finally done dealing with Kevin Morgan, but the celebration would not last long as the lights went out and the music of a very familiar foe filled the Impact Arena. As soon as the music began to play the crowd erupted, whipping themselves into a frenzy and becoming almost hysterical as the sound of the one and only Brandon Groom's entrance music floated through the dark . Absent for months, he appeared in the ring as the lights came back on and he immediately took the fight to O'Malley as an uncontrollable rage seemed to take over the normally reserved Brandon Groom. You see, it was the Hate Machine who had injured Brandon in the first place and now he was back for revenge. As O'Malley escaped, Groom grabbed a microphone and explained to John O'Malley and the IZW fans that this marks the second coming of Brandon Groom, and that he will soon be "new Heavyweight Champion of the best federation in Oklahoma." It was later announced that he will face O'Malley this coming week. Will Groom's words ring true?

Next up was the now Eight-man Tag Team Match with Johnny Z, Shane Rawls, Blake Albright and Bad Brad Michaels taking on Aaron Neil, Jesse White, Gary Tool and their mystery partner. After everyone had entered the ring, the only one left to enter was the mystery partner. Bernie D came out, but said the mystery man wasn't him, but a former IZW Champion. Then the long-absent Angel Williams appeared. The Widowmaker had returned and once again on this evening of chaos, the Impact Arena became deafening as the crowd once again became hysterical at his appearance. Bernie then said he had one more present and said that he would be the special referee. Co-Commissioner Steve-O took exception and made himself "special enforcer." Bernie told him that if he got in his way, he would "kick his a## all over the arena." The match itself contained a Who's Who of Oklahoma wrestling history. During the match, Bernie got caught in a pile-up outside of the ring as Neil jumped off the top onto everyone. Albright was able to hit the Posterizer on Williams in the ring and Johnny Z made the cover. Steve-O then tried to help Johnny Z's team steal the win by making the three count on Angel, but Bernie stopped him. Steve-O got angry and started pushing Bernie, which made him none too happy. Steve-O then received a Sky High from Bernie. Johnny Z then got up from the pin and started berating then pushing Bernie, but this time Bernie pushed him back, right into a big spinning heel kick from Gary Tool. Angel Williams who had recovered and gotten to his feet then hit Johnny Z with a TKO for the win. The Widowmaker had a triumphant return and his team came out victorious. What will Williams' return mean for IZW?

The next match was between Wage and Double D. The two had developed quite a bit of hostility between each other coming into this match. Double D had previously picked up a win on Wage, but it was different this time. Double D held his own for a while, but eventually he was mercilessly punished by Wage. Wage pulled him up on a pin and then gave him a Hellevator for the win. He continued to beat on Double D before another return as Carnage came out much to Wage's surprise. The two of them went at it for a moment before Wage got caught in Carnage's chokeslam. He escaped taking the slam, but it doesn't look to be over between these two.

The Main Event for the evening was the 5-Way Ladder Match for the Impact Division Championship. Dustin Heritage was the defending Champion coming into the match, but Michael Barry had stolen the belt from him the same night he had won it. Both men were in the match, joined by the Revolutionary Dane Griffin, Ky-ote Joe and the Gifted Eric Rose. The match was filled with violence and intensity. Each contestant put his career on the line it seemed, their very well being at stake, each taking vicious shots from the ladders, falling from frightening heights and landing in unbelievable positions. Both Dane Griffin and Ky-ote Joe were busted open in the match. Griffin bled profusely, leaving blood all over the ring. Near the end of the match, Michael Barry and Dustin Heritage had so much animosity between them that they ended up leaving the Championship to the other three competitors and fighting all to the back. Ky-ote Joe then laid Dane Griffin on a ladder that was set up between the ring and the guardrail. He went to the top turnbuckle and hit a huge frogsplash that broke the ladder and Griffin in half. This left Ky-ote Joe and Eric Rose to climb opposite ladders in the ring to get at the belt. Both men ended up losing their ladders and having to hang from the cable holding the championship 15 ft. above the ring. Eric Rose was able to knock Ky-ote down to win his first Impact Division Championship, much to the crowd's approval.

Chaotic Christmas had many memorable moments that will have a significant effect on the future of the Impact Zone Wrestling. Both Angel Williams and Brandon Groom have returned. Both men have always made an impact in their time at IZW and this time around promises to be no different. The Gifted Eric Rose became the new Impact Division Champion while the New Age Syndicate and John O'Malley were able to retain their gold. What will the title pictures look like in the next few months? What does the future hold for IZW and its fans?
